Almighty Dollar Activities

Pat Pauly organized the opening reception for the exhibition she planned, "Almighty Dollar - Art Quilts Inspired by the Dollar Bill." Here's Pat chatting with one of the guests. Pat's quilt is behind her and mine is to the right. And Priscilla Kibbee is at the left of the picture.

Pat's centerpiece for the table (growing some money in her flowerpot) was very clever.

This is Bev Kondolf, one of the participating artists. And in the background is the table full of very good snacks.

Gerald Muhl was one of the featured speakers on "The History of US Paper Money (By George!)." He also prepared the exhibit of historical currency in the display case.

Fiber Arts Studio

About the Studio

The studio was built by New Energy Works (Timberframers, Housewrights & Joiners) as an addition to the west end of our existing house. The timberframe structure is 23 x 33' and was built using reclaimed douglas fir timbers. The interior cabinetry was made from reclaimed rustic beech, and the countertops
from Australian Jarrah wood. The construction started in April, and we moved into the studio in August 2007.
